The maps do not show any devices in the country where I live, but due to the low cost and practical use, I’d love to set some up.
If i am usually within 6km of my home, in a city. I wonder if 1 node will be enough coverage.
Also, how can you tell that there are more nodes than reported on those sites?
The phone app gives the location of nodes want you to know. And most don't care. For example, in my city there is currently 24 online nodes my window node has interacted with. And 174 in total nodes it's contacted today.
It can be spotty during certain times of the day.
